James 2:8-16
-
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
-
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
-
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
-
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
-
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
-
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
-
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
-
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
-
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
